Poonawalla’s five-day police custody ends today. A Delhi Police official said, “Police had sought extension of his custody as the investigation is still on. Based on our request, we have got the accused’s custody for four more days which will help in collecting more evidence.”

Aftab (28) was arrested by the Delhi Police on November 12 for allegedly killing Shraddha at his rented flat in south Delhi’s Mehrauli area. Police had said Aftab strangled Shraddha to death and cut her body into around 35 pieces which he kept in a 300-litre fridge at home for about three weeks and then dumped them in different parts over several days.
